Those poor citrus - I can seem some teensy, tiny little green shoots coming up off low on the trunk, but not a lot of other action. I put more soil sulfur in the wells today and clawed it in. Then I watered it in with a bit of the prior mix of ferrous sulfate and fish emulsion. Crossing fingers for the distressed trees.
The plastic sheeting that I put on last fall, I'd initially planned to leave on to solarize the North and West garden beds for about 6 weeks. But then the weather turned cooler, and I thought it should stay on longer. Then I decided I might as well leave it on until Julyish to really cook the soil. Alas, it has cooked enough - the plastic has begun disintigrating into little, tiny, hard-to-pick-up plastic bits. Thus, I removed the plastic sheeting today from those beds. Since I'm busy, I'll leave the beds fallow for now.
